A/N: This update is long overdue. Sorry about the long wait. Enjoy and as always please review. The category of stories I'll be working on next are my Spartacus ones, they shouldn't take that long since I already know what I'm going to do. The next ones will be Dragon Age and then Skyrim since I have so many of them. Their updates may not be as long. Again, if a certain story gets a lot of reviews, then I'll update that one ASAP regardless of what ones I'm working on. Thank!

Sha'tira growled as she hit the ground...again! Tsu'tey smirked as he picked her up again and threw her over the back of the direhorse.

"You're an asshole, you know that right?" She asked. "You know I'm going to kick your ass when I get free, right?"

He said nothing, just smiled evilly as he urged his mount forward. His smile disappeared as they neared Hometree. She was yanked off the horse, her bonds broken and a knife pressed against her braid as she was pushed forward with the surging mass of Na'vi. It was then that she spotted Jake among them.

He smiled at her and she rolled her eyes but smirked. Both of them received a hard shove in the back for it.

Eytukan did not look pleased at having two Dreamwalkers among his people. Tsu'tey and Neytiri assured him that a sign from Eywa was the only thing that prevented their deaths.

Eytukan studied her for a moment, before turning to Jake. Sha'tira sighed and completely tuned out the jarhead marine and soon found her eyes meeting Tsu'tey's. He sneered at her, and she grinned, making him hiss in annoyance. As much as the man irritated her to no end, it was pretty fun being on the other end.

Her thoughts were interrupted when Mo'at arrived. She studied Jake, questioning him and stabbing him with some kind of bone and accepted him into clan, to be trained by Neytiri, who groaned in response.

The Tsahik turned to Sha'tira. "And why have you come to us?"

"I have come to learn, Mo'at." She said, bowing her head respectfully. "I was attacked by Taruk, and forced to come here. I am familiar with your ways, but I would like to be a part of them." She paused to take a deep breath. "My people, the skypeople are like poison. They destroy everything they touch. I won't let them destroy Pandora. I was born a skyperson, but my heart is Navi, it is Eywa's. I ask for a chance. I defended The People against my own kind before. I know that it was not enough. Give me the chance to become One of the People and make everything right."

"You killed the man who took Sylwanin from us." She said in her very accented English. "Your heart belongs to Eywa. Tsu'tey!" She turned to face the future leader. "You will train Sha'tira. Teach her to walk and fight as we do."

Tsu'tey's eyes nearly bugged out of his head. "She will never be One of the People. She is-"

"Enough Tsu'tey." Eytukan snapped, silencing the younger warrior at once.

Sha'tira grinned again as she climbed the spiraling trunk of Hometree behind her new mentor. She had to resist the urge to cover herself. She wasn't modest, but she usually didn't run around nearly naked. The Omaticaya clan were gathered to eat. She followed him over to his designated spot and dropped into a crouch next to him. He pushed a folded leaf in front of her without looking at her. She opened and frowned at the mushed white stuff inside.

"What is this?"

"Teylu." Tsu'tey grunted.

"What's it made of?"

"Eat it." He commanded.

She swallowed and slowly picked some up between her fingers and ate it. It was surprisingly crunchy and she had to fight the instinct to spit it out. She swallowed it down and blinked. "That wasn't too bad."

"Sha'tira." Mo'at said. "What is your opinion of the other dreamwalker, Jakesully."

"Um, he's a bit of a skawng." She answered, wiping her mouth and earning chuckles from both clan leaders. "But he has a strong heart."

"Why do you hate your people?" Eytukan asked. "You know why we do not trust them, but you are one of them."

"They are like a sickness. They come and kill everything they touch. What they do not understand, they kill. They're first instinct is to kill. I hate that, the way they think that they are above all other creatures."

"They do not believe." Eytukan agreed.

"They take what they want, without regards of consequences. I have never wanted to be a part of something like that." Sha'tira looked down at her food with a sigh. Her people.

They finished eating and Tsu'tey lead her to where the People slept, hammock-like leaves that folded over the sleeping person at the touch of a hand. It was surprisingly soft.

"Training begins at first light." Tsu'tey growled at her.

"I know."

"Do not die in sleep, dreamwalker."

"Wouldn't count on it, asshole. I have yet to finish making your life a living hell." She smirked at him and he rolled his eyes and climbed into his own hammock.

The next thing Sha'tira knew was Grace's hand slapping her across the face. "What the hell?" Then the redhead had snapped her up in a bearhug.

"I thought you were dead."

"As you can see, I'm not."

"I'm okay too." Jake called.

Grace rolled her eyes. "Is the avatar safe?"

"Yes, at Hometree. Mo'at let us into the clan."

"What?" The redhead's face was priceless as she glared in Jake's direction before turning back to her favorite student.

"I need a bath." Sha'tira said.

"No, you are going straight to bed. The Navi get up early. You don't have time to take an hour long soak. Then I have to give the jarhead so semblance of training."

"Grace! Relax." Sha'tira smiled. "Everything will be fine."

"You're right." Grace sighed. "Just promise me something, okay?" She said with a serious expression.

"Anything."

"Be careful."

"That worked out well this morning."

"Don't kill Tsu'tey and don't sleep with him either."

"Kill maybe, sleep, ha. You're funny."

"I'm serious."

"So am I." Sha'tira climbed out of her link chamber and staggered back to her room. She listened to Grace and didn't take a bath, but she did take a thirty minute shower. Afterwards, she collapsed onto her bed and sighed. Sleep found her quickly. Her dreams were invaded by a certain infuriating navi man. She just couldn't get a break. She now had to deal with the asshole all day, and now he wouldn't even give her peace in her dreams. Thank Eywa that morning came quickly.
